iPhone's tipping point?

(1/14/2013) Is it a tipping point of Apple's iPhone? Rumors say Apple cut its component order due to less than expected demand.

(1/28/2013) Asian consumers don't think iPhone is cool anymore, and the app developers are switching their lane too. iOS may not be app developer's first testing ground soon.

(1/29/2013) Another news shows that Apple is losing its grips on the carriers. T-Mobile will start selling iPhone, however, it will not come with subsidized low price that is normally indicating the carriers pay to Apple. Other wireless carriers are 'intrigued' by T-Mobile's action and may reevaluate their contracts with Apple in the future. Is Apple still the 'Almighty'?

(9/11/2013) I agree with the editor of CNET saying "Marketers will do their best to convince you otherwise, but smartphones now belong to a maturing industry with little sizzle." When a new product becomes more mature, the innovation on the product's new generations become lackluster. However, the new 64-bit A7 processor in iPhone 5S series may bring long term benefits to Apple's future products.
iPhone 5C entering to the low end smartphone market on 9/10/2013. Will it be successful?
